Real Life Architecture

Once when I was working with a client on a home renovation, a neighbor asked me; "Why would someone ever need an Architect to design a new house, or remodel for a house?"

After spending so many years in school, and taking multiple tests to become an Architect, this really intrigued me.

Why, with all the cookie cutter "cool" house plans that you can find online, hundreds of contractors looking to tell you how they would build your house, and "custom" home builders that will build it fast, cheap and put a roof over your head; Why? Why would you ever need an Architect to design your home unless it was like a mansion or something?

With this question posed, I have decided to write a blog about this subject, and hopefully get the word out, to let people know what they are missing, and what they could have in their lives for the same price as a standard cookie cutter plan.

So this blog is to talk about why you would ever want an Architect to design something for you. So ask questions and hopefully I am able to share my experiences and answer some questions the best that I can.
